Kalar's eyes were treated to the sight of a pair of meadows, tracts of plains rolling in the distance. Beauty. Rapture. Contentment. And all of it lost to a gigantic grinning face in the sky. Every last blade of grass, every cow, chicken, horse, human and dog would be completely annihilated.

Sights like this one, where nature reigned supreme and there was nothing at all keeping anyone from sadness were depressing reminders of the fate the world faced in three (well, almost two by now...) days.

His lame-ass attempt at being dramatic over, Kalar turned to the group. They were faced with a very important choice.


Kalar: "So, do we call this a Cow farm or Chicken farm?"

((Yes! Thankyou, Grey!))
((Oh, and Darkmatt... try reading back a few posts ; ))

Kirbynite was fairly distracted by the background music. Just as ravishing as the ranch was, so, too, was the music.

Kirbynite: ... uh.. Er.. I dunno. It might be both....

"Heey!"

Kirbynite: Hm?

A little girl with a bow in her hand was waving her hand. She was probably around eleven or twelve years old. Maybe ten, who knows. She started walking towards the group.

Kirbynite: Erm, howdy.

Girl: Hey, you're cute.

A slightly dull look accompanied by a slight blush appeared on Kirby's face.

"It's because of that I don't get as much respect, despite how old I am.", he thought.


Girl: This is my first time meeting foreigners...

The girl's deep-red hair swayed in the wind. Kirbynite's dull look went away as his mind began to work. This girl.. No... something about the appearance was familar. But was it really familar? He didn't find it natural to be looking at the girl without looking slightly up.

Kirbynite: *looking around* Um... Kalar, I hate to say it, but I completely forgot what we're supposed to be doing. The entire scenery here just like.. sucked it out of me.

Girl: You don't know? Ooh.. Well, I have to go practice a bit more. *twirls around bow* Bye!

The girl turned around, and skipped back over to her little dog and a weird looking balloon floating in the air.

The branches of a small bush rustled as the girl passed by it. The girl stopped for a minute to examine it more closely when suddenly ... some crazy creature jumped out from it. The heroes were startled. Even more so when they found that the creature was actually going for the balloon in her hand. Securing it from the girl, the creature fell to the dusty trail with a puff of smoke.

Teddylot: WaaHAAA! The balloon is mine!!!

Girl: Ok.. you can hold onto it..

The red haired girl looked at Teddylot, as he started to float into the air with the balloon.

Girl: i was barely able to hold onto it. I was gonna tie it to that crate there so I can practice...

Teddylot: Hmm ... I'm floating.

Teddylot began to drift higher and higher into the air. His light weight was just not enough to keep the helium-filled balloon down. He jerked his body, flailed his legs, and did chin ups trying to keep himself from going any higher.

Teddylot: *yells* Guys!!! A little help ... just try to not pop the balloon ... okay?

Kalar: "Wait, what? Pop the balloon?"

Kalar turned to Kirbynite, a sense of impending panic growing on his face...

"I think he wants us to get him down! We need to save him somehow! I suggest popping the balloon. That should make him fall to the ground. Plus, he's soft and teddybearlike, so he'll bounce harmlessly off on the soft, green grass. Everything should be ok!"

JDavis: Those aren't chickens, Kalar, they're cuccos. ... Where'd Guts go?

Suddenly, JDavis and a couple other of our heroes had to jump out of the way as a brown, red, and yellow blur came rushing through the middle of the group. Upon review, it was Guts, human again, barely managing to cling to a brown horse with a white mane.

Guts: I found a horse! ... Where's the brakes!?

Kirbynite: Guts! Horses aren't toys!

Girl: *blinks* Ohh! Are you foreigners mercenaries? *stands firm* Then I would like to hire you all to help me protect this ranch!

Kirbynite: *looks up at Teddylot* ... Uh... Mercenary? M-me? No.. *still staring at Teddylot*

Kalar: "Argh, fine... We do this one my way."

Kalar crouched a few feet downward... And leapt into the sky after the pooh-bear wannabe, unsheathing his scythe and slicing the ribbon on the balloon, grabbing it and letting Teddylot fall to the ground. As the bear was considerably less wind-resistant than Kalar was, Kalar hit the ground first, placed his scythe back on his back, and caught the teddy bear in his free hand before handing the balloon back to the girl.

"Here you are, miss... I'm guessing protecting the farm was what you were using this balloon to practice for?"

He grinned as he handed the balloon back to her. Now all that remained was to see just how terrified she was that he did that just now...

Teddylot: Nope ... I am.

Teddylot hopped out from Grey's arms and planted himself on the ground. He then reached into his pocket to pull out some very trusty ankle weights, which he put on. The teddy jumped up again, this time with less vertical, to snatch the balloon away from the girl.

Teddylot: MiiiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIiiiine. Mine.

Kirbynite continued to stare at Teddylot as his balloon antics continued.

Kirbynite: ... Um... Yeah... Job?

Girl: ...

Kirbynite: What? I don't look mercenary enough?

Kirbynite swings his sword around in the air. He hops around, flailing about, and finishes it with a "Heee-ya!"

Girl: ... Ok, Grasshopper. I'll hire ya too.

Kirbynite: Wait wait.. what?

Girl: Mah name is Romani. Welcome ta Romani Ranch.

Kirbynite: Oh.. you're named after the ranch, huh? Um... Is there someone that runs this place?

Romani: That's mah sister, Cremia!

Kirbynite: I see.. But why does she need mercenaries?

Romani: Sssh! Don't say it so loud!

Kirbynite: *dull look* Huh?

Romani: She doesn't believe me.

Kirbynite: What?

Romani: "They".... "They" come at night... every year.. when the Carnival of Time is approachin'...

The area around Kirbynite and Romani begin to dim. Strangely enough, it's only surrounding them. Kirbynite gulps loudly.

Kirbynite: ... and.. and then?

Romani: They come... ridin' in a shiney ball.. A whole lot of them... An' they come to the barn....an' then...

















BANG!

Kirbynite: Gack!

Cremia: Romani! Are you tellin' those silly ghost stories again?

A woman, who seemed like an older version of Romani, had slammed the door to the nearby house open. Kirbynite was on the ground, trying to catch his breath.

Kalar: "Well, I AM grim, and I do enjoy reaping...."

He flashes a grin at Romani.

"But Job accepted! I'd love to help you with your ghost problem."

He then decides to go Shakespeare for a moment, and asides to Kirbynite...

"But Kirb... We need to keep an eye on the clock. Too many days wasted, and we're right back to hell."

Kirbynite: I know... But this might be another clue...

Cremia stepped out from the nearby ranch house and approached the group. The wind did a fair job in giving life to her firery hair.

Cremia: Ah appreciate you fellas humorin' mah little sister--

Romani: Hmph.

Cremia: -- but there's no need for your help. Thank you, though. Oh! Ah'm sorry for my rudeness. *bows* Mah name is Cremia, an' Ah run Romani Ranch. Please enjoy your visit here. If you'll excuse me, Ah have to tend to the cows. *looks at Romani* An' stop with those darn stories, you hear?

And with that, Cremia walked towards the barn next to the ranch house. Romani stuck her tounge out at her sister. Unfortunately for the little girl, Cremia snapped at her with a "Ah know what your doin'", giving Romani a little scare.

Romani: Hmph. Mah big sister doesn't believe me... But Romani doesn't care! Romani will still train for tonight.

Kirbynite frowns. After hearing the disbelief from Cremia, he wasn't sure if he should've wasted his own time by sticking around. However, something inside of him was telling him to believe Romani. He let out a sigh. The sun was almost down, and he didn't feel like walking too far now.

Kirbynite: Guys, I know we should really get to figuring out what's going on, but I'm gonna stick around and investigate this. I don't mind if you want to split up and search the land on your own.

Kalar: "No way, man... You've got that woodie thingy that makes the notes go blow. If there's any hope at all of restoring this place, it lies within that thing and quite frankly, I'm sick and tired of playing Let's Pretend With Bill Murray. This girl needs some ghosts killed, we can kill some ghosts. Even if there's no such thing as ghosts."

His resolve steeled (or at least wooded), Kalar crosses his arms and looks about at the ragtag band of misfits assembled before him.

"Right, guys?"

Kirbynite: ... You don't know much, do you?

The Dreamlander couldn't help but respond sharply after Kalar's ghost comment.

Romani: Ghosts? Um.... Ah heard that there are ghosts in Ikana Canyon...

Kirbynite: Romani.. excuse us for a second.

Kirbynite stepped toward Kalar, and led him a bit away from Romani.

Kirbynite: From the sound of this.. I think it's the work of some Grays.... or maybe another race... Oh, sorry. It'd be an alien to an earthling like you.

Cremia: Romani... it's time for dinna..

Romani: Ah'm comin', Sis.

Kalar: "Greys? Oh, no, there's only one of them that I can think of... Definitely not an alien. Just annoying."

Coming to his senses, and sealing the fourth wall up for the time being, Kalar changed his tone...

"Ah, but then, those WOULD be aliens, and not ghosts. Any way you slice it, we're still dealing with stuff that isn't... Erm, human? If that's what these people are... Look, I'm really strapped for ideas here, can we just get on with the mission?"

Kirbynite: That's Grays. No "e". Don't think I can't see that.

Kirbynite looks up in the sky. The sun has gone down. However, the moon's ugly mug did not replace the sun's place and continued to loom rather close-like.

Kirbynite: There isn't much we can do. The girl.... Romani.. she's already inside her house.. If they come at night, then all we gotta do is just hang out here and wait for them to come. *nod nod* So.. um.. do we just... camp out?
